Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How does the chrome finish differ from other fire-rated options?
Chrome offers a bright, mirror-like reflective finish that adds classic elegance and maximizes light reflection, while satin and black chrome provide more subdued or contemporary alternatives.

2. Will the chrome finish withstand bathroom humidity?
Yes, the high-quality chrome plating on die-cast aluminium is corrosion-resistant and specifically designed to maintain its brilliant appearance in humid bathroom environments.

3. Can this downlight be used in a kitchen ceiling below a bedroom?
Absolutely - the 90-minute fire rating makes it ideal for kitchen ceilings with habitable rooms above, ensuring compliance with building regulations for fire safety between floors.

4. What is the maximum LED wattage recommended?
While the fitting accepts up to 50W, LED GU10 lamps typically consume 3-7W. This is perfectly compatible and provides excellent energy savings while maintaining the fire-rated and IP65 integrity.

5. Does the 110mm depth require sufficient ceiling void?
Yes, ensure your ceiling void has at least 110mm clearance before installation. The depth accommodates the fire-rated components and transformer connections required for safety compliance.
